Building Resilient Teams™

According to a recent LinkedIn Learning Report, global L&D leaders reported resilience as the #1 most important workplace skill in all of the countries surveyed. Resilience is a human resource strength in organizations that can and should be developed. Collective resilience is the team’s ability to overcome adversity, and then adapt and grow together because of that adversity. Resilient teams are the key to both individual and organizational resilience.

There is a public demand for relevant certifications in the workforce marketplace (source). Certifications are earned by people to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and abilities. Earning a professional certification can promote economic mobility (source).

With turbulent economic conditions currently affecting so many, companies are recognizing the importance of upskilling. We have experienced this firsthand, having achieved more than $3M in revenue since January 2020. 

Now, seeking to capitalize on this early growth, RBLP is partnering with colleges, universities, leadership coaches, training companies, and career schools to rapidly scale the delivery of our leadership certification program.

A Certification Solution for Building Resilient Teams™

The Resilience-Building Leader Program is the certification body for the Resilience-Building Leadership Professional™ (RBLP™) series of leadership certifications. Our vision is to create a worldwide community of practice committed to the idea of Building Resilient Teams™.

Our three-tiered leadership certification program provides organizations of any size, in any industry, with a holistic and scalable solution for certifying that front-line supervisors, middle managers, and senior leaders demonstrate competency in the leader tasks applicable to Building Resilient Teams™. 

Typically, most certifications are earned by passing a computerized written exam. We disrupted the certification space by developing oral certification exams because they test leadership knowledge more effectively than written exams. Applicants are required to show competence of factual (what), conceptual (why), and procedural (how) knowledge in each of the competency domains applicable to their level of certification. Our standardized exams are conducted online via video conference. 

All exam administrators hold doctoral degrees and have over 20 years of leadership experience. Currently RBLP exams are available in both English and Spanish, with French, Portuguese, and Hebrew exams in development.

*The above information and statistics are based on internal research administered by the Resilience-Building Leader Program.

RBLP exams are primarily funded by corporate education benefits which typically renew annually. Since many employees will look to obtain more than one certification over the course of their career, we position our unique leadership certifications as being complementary to all other management and functional certifications.

Preparation for our certification exams is provided by our network of Authorized Training Partner (ATP) colleges, universities, leadership coaches, training companies, and career schools. This instructor-led exam prep training mimics the oral exam process, using experiential learning techniques and coaching skills to facilitate reflection and critical thinking about each applicable leader task. 

There is Growing Public Demand for Workplace Certifications & Professional Development Opportunities 

An estimated $177B is spent annually on workforce education and training (source). As businesses seek to navigate the challenges of today’s job market, billions are being invested into companies focused on professional development (source).

The practice of upskilling employees has continued to prove a cost-effective way to increase organizational productivity and effectiveness (source). Even amongst unfavorable conditions accelerated by the pandemic, quality certifications have been shown to promote economic mobility for workers while also increasing the talent pool for employers (source). 

To answer this growing demand, colleges, universities, leadership coaches, training companies, and career schools are adding more certification opportunities to their professional and continuing education offerings. Colleges and universities are also finding value in embedding professional certifications into their degree programs (source).

RBLP believes we are in the right place, at the right time to succeed within the current market. Our certification program specifically assesses the leader skills and knowledge required to build resilient teams, placing us in a unique and favorable position.

Over $3M in Revenue with a Growing List of Partnerships

Since January 2020, RBLP has conducted nearly 1800 certification exams and has achieved more than $3 million in revenue. 

We believe our reviews speak for themselves about the program's value. Based on survey responses from our certification holders, 99% of our certification holders would recommend the RBLP leadership certifications to others.

In November of 2021, we started partnering with colleges and universities to provide exam prep training for our certification exams. With nearly 4,000 higher education institutions in the U.S. alone, this is an exciting opportunity that we intend to pursue aggressively. Visit our website to see which colleges and universities we are partnering with.

We intend to use funds from our capital raise to increase our capacity to partner with colleges, universities, leadership coaches, training companies, and career schools. We also plan to use these funds to increase our marketing and public relations capacities. 

We are confident in our ability to hire and retain top talent. We have established a diverse, inclusive, fair, and fun remote work environment with competitive pay and benefits. We offer a 401K retirement plan with generous matching contributions and health insurance to our current nine full-time employees.

Creating a Worldwide Community of Practice Committed to the Idea of Building Resilient Teams

Amidst the shift to remote work, the labor shortage, and movements such as the Great Resignation, employees have become far more discerning about the workplaces they commit their time to. Companies are realizing it's more cost-effective to train the talent they already have rather than hiring new employees, and as such, we believe the Resilience-Building Leader Program will be the perfect resource for these organizations.
